This bed came in good condition. Color is very dark as expected. However, it did have some scratches in the back side. It's not too visible and can be fixed with markers. I asked the customer service a discount for it. They returned me about $82! Very good customer service. When I called, they also gave me info about the nightstand from this line. They offered me a new bed in case I don't want the old one with scratches. When you put it together, just make sure you are doing the correct sides. The picture may confuse you. It's nothing impossible! Overall, a Happy Customer here!
